Chapter 379 Sending Flowers
Shangguan Chong nodded, lay down on the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After Xuanyuan Yan walked out of the room, he went straight to his study.
Bai Er told his master all the information he had found about Qingxin Academy. After he finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, chuckled twice and said:
"Um, Master. Do you have any more of the 'ice cream' that the future princess made a few days ago? Give me a piece to try, hehehe..."
Xuanyuan Yan glanced at him sideways in annoyance.
"That's wishful thinking. The production conditions of ice cream are extremely demanding, and only the smallest ice room in our house can store it.
Qingqing only made more than twenty pieces in total. It's good enough that you can have a taste. How dare you have such a desire? Get out of here now."
After saying that, he picked up an object at hand and threw it out. It was not until Bai Er caught it that he realized it was the waist pillow made by his fiancée. He quickly said:
"Hurry up and bring it here. Have you washed your hands? If you get them dirty, you'll get thirty lashes!"
Bai Er, who was disliked by his master, quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, then respectfully presented the waist pillow with both hands, and then quietly retreated.
No, he had to go to Mother Wu to ask for some delicious food to comfort his broken heart!
As for Xuanyuan Yan, his appetite was aroused by the guards, so he went to the ice house himself and took out a cat's paw-shaped ice cream and ate it as he walked.
In order to prevent him from eating too much, Shangguan Qingyue made each stick small and exquisite, and strictly instructed him to eat no more than one stick a day.
When you hold the ice cream with rich milk flavor in your mouth, the moment it enters your mouth, a cool feeling spreads over your whole body.
Xuanyuan Yan randomly found a pavilion to rest. There was a rocking chair in the pavilion and a mat on the soft cushion.
He lay down comfortably, and what he saw was a field of flowers in bud, about to bloom.
Under Zhu San's careful care, the Moon Palace Fairy now has several seedlings.
Zhu San, who was originally only interested in poisons, gradually became interested in growing flowers, especially the variety called "Yueguihua" by Shangguan Qingyue.
He searched all over the mountains and found many plants of other colors, and they are now growing very well.
All Xuanyuan Yan could see was a patch of Yuegui flowers, and Zhu San was sprinkling insect repellent powder on the flowers.
He couldn't help but smile and shook his head. The four brothers of Qingyi had accompanied him through all the bloody years. Although they were willing to be his bodyguards now, they all had their own famous names in the martial arts world.
But now, some of them have become officials, some have become foodies, some have become flower farmers, and one has become a master to the guards.
Each of them seems to have forgotten their own abilities long ago, and are content to be ordinary people every day.
In fact, isn't he the same?
He casually called a servant and asked him to fetch a pair of flower scissors. The servant was smart and not only brought the flower scissors but also a straw hat.
Xuanyuan Yan frowned when he saw it, and the servant quickly explained:
"Your Highness, the future princess always wears this straw hat when she prunes flowers. She said it can help her avoid getting too hot and getting sunburned."
"Is this hat worn by the future princess?" Xuanyuan Yan confirmed again.
The servant nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.
"My Lord, this is what the future princess has been wearing."
Xuanyuan Yan didn't say anything else. He took the hat, put it on his head, took the flower shears and went to the garden.
Zhu San followed all the time, fearing that his master would cut these delicate flowers to death without paying attention.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Yan had been learning from him every day and had already accumulated a lot of skills in growing flowers, and he was very familiar with it.
After he carefully arranged the full bouquet of flowers, he ordered someone to get beautiful silk gauze to wrap the bouquet, and finally tied a beautiful bow on the outside with an emerald green ribbon.
After doing all this, he wanted to ask Bai Er to go to Shuiyunjian to deliver it to his young fiancee. But suddenly he felt it was inappropriate, so he ordered someone to call Mother Wu over and instructed:
"Mother Wu, find a capable maid to deliver this bouquet of flowers to the future princess."
Mother Wu's plump face immediately broke into a smile. She never expected that their master would one day be so romantic.
She took the bouquet with a smile and assured him:
"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best to handle this matter."
Not only did she want to send the bouquet to Shuiyunjian, she also wanted to let everyone in the capital see how much their prince cared about his future princess!
Shangguan Qingyue, wearing Shuiyunjian work clothes, is concentrating on making pastries. Nowadays, more and more little girls come to the store to order custom cakes for their birthdays.
Sometimes when Mother Dou is too busy, she will do it herself.
At this moment, a little maid with two buns and wearing the clothes of a servant in the Third Prince's mansion came into the store holding a large bouquet of flowers.
The bouquet of flowers was very eye-catching with its red and blue colors, and there were crystal water droplets on the petals, which showed that they had just been picked.
The store originally used cool and refreshing incense. When the bouquet was brought in, the rich and fragrant aroma quickly filled the first-floor lobby, attracting the attention of many customers.
The little maid was cheerful and cheerful. She smiled and said loudly:
"Princess-to-be, this is the bouquet our prince picked for you personally. There is a note on it, don't forget to read it."
Shangguan Qingyue suddenly felt her cheeks getting hot. The little maid hid her hands and giggled playfully before leaving:
"Princess-to-be, please remember to come back to see our prince when you are free. He is so eager to see you that he can't see you anymore."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out like a little rabbit.
By the time Shangguan Qingyue realized what was happening, the person had already run away. She subconsciously looked around and saw many girls staring at the large bouquet of flowers in her hand with envy.
"Ms. Shangguan is so lucky to be favored by Prince Yong'an. She is so enviable!
Oh, I'm really curious about what was written on that note!"
The person who spoke was Yu Jiaojiao who had just visited not long ago.
She had a secret thought in her heart that she could not tell anyone else, and for some unknown reason she asked her mother for permission to go to the bookstore in Shuiyunjian.
Mrs. Yu wanted to refuse immediately, but when she thought about her daughter's chance to study at Qingxin Academy, and that it would be good for her to interact more with the second Miss Shangguan, she agreed.
But the originally excited good mood immediately disappeared after seeing Shangguan Qingyue receiving the bouquet of flowers.
Emotions such as jealousy, resentment, disgust and so on almost overwhelmed her.
She couldn't understand how a country girl who was out and about all day could catch the eye of the Third Prince? !
Shangguan Qingyue looked at the little girl in front of her who was full of malice towards her, and was unable to react for a moment.
Did the two of them have any grudge against each other? Otherwise, where did the hostility in the girl's eyes come from?
Seeing that the other party was slow to speak, Yu Jiaojiao became even more annoyed.
"What's wrong with Second Miss Shangguan? Could it be that the note the Third Prince wrote to you is not worthy of being seen by others?"
Bing Ling, who had always considered himself invisible, stood up with a cold face and scolded:
"How dare you! Not only did you not show courtesy to our county lady, but you also swore at her. Miss Yu, do you want to be beaten?!"
After hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao's face turned pale. She bit her lip, not knowing how to react for a moment.
She could not possibly apologize. She was filled with disdain for seeing an impostor using his status as a county lady to bully others.
But if I confront it head-on, I will definitely not gain any benefit.
A bunch of onlookers couldn't help but widen their eyes. This Princess Changning usually doesn't put on airs at all, so it's really easy to forget her identity!
Everyone waited in silence to see the fun, and the scene fell into silence for a while.
At this moment, Shangguan Qingyue broke the silence and said slowly:
“If Miss Yu is here to eat cakes and read books, please help yourself;
If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, please leave. We don't welcome you in Shuiyunjian, and don't come again in the future."
After saying that, he ignored her and chose a suitable glass vase in the store and carefully placed the bouquet into the vase.
Afterwards, he pressed a delicate piece of letter paper to the bottom of the bottle, revealing a line of vigorous and powerful words on it:
Do you know that the flowers bloom with meaning?
A girl who was sitting nearby accidentally read it out loud, which immediately caused a small commotion.
Many little girls covered their blushing cheeks and looked at Shangguan Qingyue with envy.
They only knew that engaged men and women would give each other purses, food or jewelry, etc., but they never thought that sending flowers could be so romantic!
Many men on the other side of the veil heard the noise and secretly made up their minds to imitate this elegant act, hoping that they could win the heart of the beauty!
From then on, Shangguan Qingyue came up with the idea of opening a flower shop.
